" Is there anything the WTS could say that would NOT be accepted as fact?"
Only one thing that I could thInk of that the Jws would have a hard time accepting as fact.
WTS. " We were wrong,.. You wasted your entire lives following a bunch of old deluded dudes to your ruination, sorry Guys, it is what it is"

Now, you have hit on a true example of Irony, Notjustyet. The only thing the JW's could not swallow would be if the WT ever published the Truth !
If they have swallowed the latest total manure that has been produced in the last two or three years, and particularly this latest nonsense about the FDS, then they will swallow anything.
Judging by the recent posts listing all the New Members to this forum there are quite a few who are finally questioning this BS. Even "still in" loyal JDubs are rolling their eyes over the Overlap Lite. Many realize it is BS but they are not will to rock the boat. But they clearly demonstrate by their (in)actions that they really no longer believe it. They are living life to the fullest. Here, quite a few have defied the ban on education and their kids are getting degrees. Nursing. Teaching. Lots of Associate Degrees (which aren't really worth much) but they are a start in the right direction -- towards a Bachelors.
Many young JWs are about as serious about the JW religion as many Catholics are Catholics. Most couldn't begin to have a serious discussion on doctrine.

The GB skirt the edge of what can be proven empirically and try as well as they can to stick to topics that would require a doubter that is constrained to sanctioned information to prove a negative. So, sure. The GB could say, "the sun will not rise tomorrow" and they would break the spell by placing themselves under the scrutiny of the scientific method by the application of universally accessible data. They could say "our printing presses are powered by the Holy Spirit". Of course the GB could screw their own pooch. But of course they will not.
In fact I wish they'd take a risk and equate dark matter with the spirits of the air.
"The pope is right!"
Maybe not. I used my satire, 'The Beast-Tower', as a way to demonstrate that point:
